World News: Nigerians Want Their Big Cock Back From The British

Who can blame them?  It’s beautiful.

I love history and England stole a shit pile of it from Africa during the colonialization of that continent.  “The Cockerel” was stolen from a Nigerian court in 1897 and resided at Cambridge university ever since.

Dean’s Sad Fact Of The Day: The Brits and French stole almost every artifact in Africa during the 19th century and Nigeria would like them back RFN.

Source:The experts who presented the report estimated that up to 90% of African art is outside the continent, including statues, thrones and manuscripts. Thousands of works are held by just one museum, the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, opened in 2006 to showcase non-European art — much of it from former French colonies.

If the French, British, and Italians (Roman Empire) gave back half the shit they’ve plundered from the rest of the world over the past 500 years, they’d be screwed so maybe give Nigerians their big bronze cockerel back and start the car before they ask for the rest of it.
